Memorial Fund Update

[Joe Shmoe]

Hi everyone. I've just written Charlie a monster of a message that he will soon be posting on the site regarding the ES Memorial Fund. We've finally got some stuff figured out- we're linking up with an existing not-for-profit organization that helps abused children through the healing powers of art. I've started a yahoo groups newsletter for the fund, to keep everyone updated on developments. Here's the page to join:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/esmemorialfund

I'm super excited about it- I can't think of a better fit for Elliott's life (which revolved around art) and helping abused kids.

I'd write more here, but my fingers are about to fall off from so much typing. Check out the yahoo groups thing, or stay tuned to Sweet Addy for the info!

Thanks,
Ashley

[sombre winds]

Has anyone in LA gone to visit to see how they're doing? Or volunteered there?
They went from such a tiny budget to this huge one it would be great to know what they're doing.
